Description

The course is designed as an alternate entry point for experienced managers with no formal tertiary qualifications. The broad structured certificate allows students to choose introductory units from a range of business disciplines as preparation for articulation to a masters coursework degree.

Objectives

The learning goals associated with this course are to:

  • develop a fundamental knowledge base from the four selected units that form the course
  • gain insight into the principles of business management
  • critically analyse and apply theories in the units selected for the course.

Requirements

Students must complete any four units (24 points) at 9000-level from the Faculty of Business and Economics.

Students intending to articulate to a masters coursework degree should refer to the degree structure of their intended masters program and ensure their selection of units within the executive certificate will facilitate the maximum credit upon articulation.

Students intending to articulate to the Master of Professional Accounting must select the following three units (18 points):

  • AFX9500 Introductory accounting
  • AFX9540 Business finance
  • AFX9580 Accounting information and systems modelling

plus one unit (6 points) from the following list:

  • BTX9500 Business and corporations law
  • ECF9530 Economics
  • GSB9001 Personal development - critical thinking and communication
